Design and Simulation of High-Speed Spiral Flow in Hydraulic Lifting System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The high-speed spiral flow generator was designed, by which can produce strong suction and penetration and strong adsorbent spiral flow of manganese nodules, it can form a centripetal pressure field. In the field, the manganese nodules move to the center of pineline and effectively gather near the pipe center, so probability of manganese nodules collision with the pipe wall will be reduced and energy consumption discreases and capability and efficiency of the system will be enhanced. Secondly, Fluent software was used, through which the simulation test of hydraulic lifting was conducted, pressure field and velocity field were got. The results showed that high-speed spiral flow hydraulic lifting is feasible and rational.
